Augusta University is having its finest season in baseball in quite some time.

The Jags are currently 29-19 overall and 17-13 in the powerful Peach Belt Conference. The win total is the most posted by an Augusta team since they won 38 games in 2004. The Jaguars have not even had a winning season since 2008, but that will change this year.

His youngest brother, Matt was diagnosed with cancer. Matt was a former Evans baseball standout and had also pitched at Augusta State. The elder Blume saw what his brother had to endure and also was fully aware of the various medications that were required to battle the cancer. Then, last year one of his colleagues from a local business leadership class participated in the Leukemia Lymphoma Society’s Man and Woman of the Year Campaign.

Girls basketball in Columbia County has been on the rise for the past decade.

For years, girls teams in Columbia County simply could not compete on a regular basis with Richmond County. Well, that has changed. I give the rise of the Georgia Sting AAU Program plenty of credit. I also think the improvement has sustained for so long because of the quality of the coaches currently in the county.

March 5 will be a very special day for Greenbrier High School and baseball fans throughout the county.

That’s the day Greenbrier will name it’s baseball field after legendary coach Terry Holder. Everything will begin at 4 p.m. at the baseball field with the Hall of Fame ceremony and the naming of the field.

The school and the Holder Family are requesting that all of Holder’s former players cometo the event.

It had appeared that Richmond Academy had a strangle hold on the top spot in Region 2A-AAAAA with Greenbrier and Lakeside slugging it out for number two, and Evans and Grovetown were battling to not be the region cellar dweller. After one wild week on the hardwood the No. 2 spot in the region is still up for grabs.

Grovetown, who started region play 0-4, pulled off two huge wins last week. First the Warriors edged the Panthers in a 77-70 overtime thriller on Jan. 15.
